;Why did you choose Dai M'Hael?
+
*;How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?
Initially, I chose for the completely wrong reason, Thalion was the CC at the time, and I just wanted to be in the "norwegian" Company.... I did, however, find that I did indeed find my "home" as there's a good bunch of men from around the world in there and we're all backing eachother up. Yes, we have some disagreements now and then.... but that's only natural, when you've been in the company of the same people for a long time. However, I respect and love every one of them.
+
It's about 9 or 10 years now
  
;How was your time as Citizen/Recruit/Soldier?
+
*;How did you first get into the series?
Citizens weren't innovated yet whenI joined up. However, my time as a Recruit and alter Soldier is starting to blur from memory... it's been near enough 8 years since I joined :lol

Nowadays I simply "hang out" here.... however, I've been a Gaidin Council-member for 4 terms, I've been Colour Guard for two terms, and I've moderated Tech&Media for just over a year, together with Xaviara.  
+
Fave baddie... hmmm.... that's a tough one... though Mierin aka Lanfear comes high up
  
;How did you get to read the series?
+
*;Favorite book and scene?
My brother, Oddey Bird of WC... I mean, VC, introduced me to The Eye of the World in about 2001..... I simply didn't manage to read through it untill about Feb. 2002, though, but from there onwards, I read the remaining 8 bboks in under three months, and joined TV.net shortly after.
+
I think my favourite would be book 2, where certain characters are using the Portal Stones
  
;Who is your mentee, if you have one?

I believe I'ld be a farmer somewhere.... probably in one of the Borderlands

+
My Amiga, where I have recently started to relearn coding in a programming language called "AmigaE"
  
;What kind of music do you like?
+
*;What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?
Heavy Metal... Iron Maiden is my favourite, but I can't stand death/black metal... has little if anything todo with music.
